Chapter 450

"Grass, is that really OK?"

"What? Do you doubt it now? "

"But, that kind of thing, I mean, Chinese comics, really has such a big effect?"

"My Ron, what do you doubt with your previous success?"

"This... Grass, please believe me, I absolutely trust you, but this plan is really incredible."

"Sometimes that's what it is. Fantastic is fantastic, but maybe it will work."

"Well, it won't cost much money anyway. I'll agree to all your demands, but you have to understand..."

"Don't worry, I understand very well that if you lose at the box office, not only you will be finished, but I will be finished."

"You just know, ha ha... Do you have any plans for the evening? Do you want to go again... "

"No, I can't stand your American taste. In addition, I have to go and see how the special effects are. The guys of industrial light and magic are not necessarily reliable."

"Ha ha... I don't believe you Oriental people don't like big ones."

"We do like big, but you Americans like it too much!"

"Ha ha ha..."

As for the comic book, in Ron's eyes, it's a "cartoon", a mysterious oriental cartoon.

Well, don't expect this guy to have any deep understanding of this kind of thing, but seriously, it's also very caricature like.

Why use comic books?

Obviously, this is the propaganda method that the grass supervision wants to engage in. Moreover, it still makes use of the legacy of the previous virus marketing.

But is it really useful to do so?

As a matter of fact, he is not sure whether it is useful or not. Yes, he did give all kinds of guarantees to Ron, even slapped him on the chest, but he didn't know what to do.

But he has to do it!

The reason why we have to do it is that this matter itself has little to do with aoyeko.

The reason is very simple. The current film "Red Cliff" is an epic made by koji caono, which will be divided into three parts. For now, how much do American fans know about the history of China?

Yes, that's why!

The United States is not Japan. There are too many people in Japan who are crazy about the history of the Three Kingdoms, but the United States is totally different.

The United States is very helpless in some aspects. For example, how much do people in this country know about our earth?

I'm afraid many people can't believe it. In fact, most Americans don't know anything about other countries on the earth. They just say that Cao county they scold every day.

Most Americans don't even know where the country is. If you give them a map of Europe, they may point it out to you. Oh, here it is.

That's true. Even American TV stations sometimes do such programs.

Although Americans have the best resources and the highest technology on the planet, their understanding of the world is very limited.

There are many reasons for this. First of all, it should have something to do with the popular anti intellectualism in this country.

Anyway, in American schools, those who study best are ridiculed.

There's another word for them, egg head, egg.

Secondly, there are some Yishi morphological aspects.

What do American history textbooks have when they come to China's history?

There will be that picture, one or two tanks and one person.

Yes, even if there is this, all of them will have it. They won't talk about what happened later. Anyway, they put it in the book.

So, it's quite conceivable that most Americans have an attitude towards China.

Under such influence, how many people are interested in the history of the Three Kingdoms and even want to study it?

Very few.

This is almost certain.

In other words, kusano is very clear that in Chinese, there is not much mass base in the history of the Three Kingdoms in the United States, that is to say, there is not much mass base in the film "Red Cliff".

So, what?

This is the way that caono can think of. He can only do it from the beginning, that is, the most basic science popularization work.

It should be said that this kind of introduction to our country's history is a kind of cultural export. However, China has not done enough in this kind of export work.

Well, it's just bad work.

Especially relative to Japan.

How much history does Japan have? Take a look at what Japan has done in the world. It has made a lot of things that are not rich in history.

For example, kabuki, Japan's national treasure master Sakamoto YUSHIRO, also came to our Chinese opera masters for advice when he was young.

But now, how about our Chinese classical drama in the world?

Even at home, young people don't like Kabuki in Japan, but they can support it. Many foreigners are watching it.

To put it bluntly, we have to make up our lessons.

What HAYANO is doing now is making up lessons. He has to teach American fans first, so that they can learn more or less about the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Choose to choose to go, grass wild lucky he chose Lilliputian book.

Why this one?

It's easy to understand, and it's much easier to read than the text directly. It's easier to be accepted by the low educated, anti intellectual people in the United States.

In addition, the cartoon industry in the United States is still good.

Right. Actually, that's the key. In the United States, there are DC and marvel, as well as many cartoon fans.

Comics from the East, with distinctive artistic features and rich Chinese characteristics, don't they want to have a try?

Although, this is the comic book, but in the eyes of Americans, it is not comic.

Last but not least, it's cost.

A film needs to be publicized before it is released, some of which are directly advertised, and some of which are on the talk show by the main creators.

As far as the United States is concerned, talk shows are very effective.

To put it simply, most of the audience know what it's for to invite a big star to come here for the talk show, just to promote their own films. But it's not very good to have a funny talk and everyone laughs.

However, all of these will cost a lot of money.

At present, 20% of the film investment is in publicity and distribution. Of course, this is not a fixed amount. Sometimes it even accounts for 50%.

So, according to this "Red Cliff", how much does it cost?

In the United States, at least, it costs about $10 million.

How much does it cost to send free comic books?

That is to say, 100000 sets can be sent out. According to this ratio, 100000 sets can produce 10000 audiences who can finally ask for money to see a movie.

And how much can these comic books cost with freight?

It's about two million dollars.

You know, comic books are printed in China, so the cost is very low.

Therefore, this means of publicity is very appropriate.

Now the only thing to worry about is the result.

That's right. Will this propaganda method produce the effect that Yoshiko caono said?

Will there be at least 10000 people in the cinema?

Fortunately, there is no bottom in the grass, but he is very clear that this is not a losing game.

Where is the winning chance?

It's not that Chinese movies must not be popular in the United States.

For example, crouching tiger, hidden dragon and hero.

Why are these two movies so popular?

In short, Americans really don't know much about our Chinese culture and history. However, this lack of understanding will produce something.

be curious!

Can we make good use of this?

Fortunately, caono knows that he will have a help, which is crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

Many people do not know that the movie was first released in Chinese mainland and was released in the US.

So what's the opening time in the United States?

November!

That's right. HAYANO has made a perfect plan from the very beginning. The release time he proposed before, that is, the new year's eve of this year. In fact, he considered the release time of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon!

This film will bring a whirlwind of Chinese culture to the United States. Can the later "Red Cliff" take off?

The layout has been completed, waiting for the movie to be released!
